UPDATED! PLEASE Help with ROG Laptop decision

[jmmclaug]

Hey everyone. I am looking at this ROG laptop and can get an ASUS refurbished one with warranty for $760 with no tax. Is there anything as good or better I should be looking at for the value? 4710hq, 860m, 8gb ram, 17.3" ... I will use for video streaming via Google hangouts, for HD video rendering to upload to servers as well, whIle also streating simultaneously...

Hi,

Actually the fact that you can only get it with that price is more than enough to consider that laptop because it sells for $950 brand new. And most of the laptops out there that well beyond $700 won't match that ASUS ROG G750JM-BSI7N24.

For that price, the laptop is worth it.

I found this today for $160 more. Worth the difference? It has a smaller screen, but 16gb ram and a 960 instead of 860 video card. It also has 4720 instead of 4710

I would say that that is much better for you needs the gtx 960m is a lot stronger than the 860m and the i7 is also stronger.
